Nope, what I wrote (and everything else I've tried so far) works fine with
the version I grabbed from CPAN.

Of course I don't use all of libwww (nor do I think I ever will :-)) so
there could easily be bits that don't work under MacPerl. I'll download
Paul's port and use that.

Thanks for the info Paul.
